In the final game played at Candlestick Park, home of the San Francisco Giants from 1960-1999, Raúl Mondesi made sure to give his rivals’ home a proper farewell.
On Sept. 30, 1999, the St. Kitts native hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning of the Dodgers-Giants game off right-hander Mark Gardner.
The Dodgers ended up winning the game 9-4, thanks in part to Mondesi’s shot, which turned out to be the last homer hit in the venue’s history.
